map CIFS share on Ubuntu 10.04

[ivanhajdinjak]

Greetings,

i've managed out how to set CIFS on Ubuntu and I can map it on windows platform but can't on real server where Alfresco is.
Can someone please give me some guidance how to map Alfresco share on Ubuntu 10.04 ?

Thanks !

on ours (also ubuntu 10.04), we set it up with the following in /etc/fstab -

//{cifs.serverName}/{filesystem.name} /mnt/alfrescoCIFS cifs username={adminUser},password={adminUserPassword}‍

where:
{cifs.serverName} is the cifs.serverName property from alfresco-global.properties,
{filesystem.name} is the filesystem.name property from alfresco-global.properties,
{adminUser} is the username of an admin in Alfresco, and
{adminUserPassword} is the password of that user.

When we first tried to mount with sudo mount -a after this, we got a "Bad superblock" error, and checking dmesg | tail told us we were getting a -22 error code. If you get the same thing, the solution for us was to install smbfs (sudo apt-get install smbfs).
